Patent number: 4413983Abstract: An improved multi-station machine is disclosed for assembling ring-type closures from generally cylindrical paperboard cylinders and generally circular paperboard discs. The machine employs a rotatable dial plate, carrying eight mandrels and an improved ring clamping system, which dial plate is incrementally rotated by an automatic indexer assembly relative to the various operating stations which consist of a ring feed station, a disc feed station, an adhesive dispensing station, a curling station, a grooving station and a closure ejecting station. Means are provided for controlling the operation of the various stations so that they operate in substantial synchronism with one another and with the rotatable dial plate. The improved disc feed station automatically feeds the lowermost disc from a stack of discs to a position over a ring on the dial plate and simultaneously forms a peripheral skirt on the disc and positions it in an open end of the ring.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1981Date of Patent: November 8, 1983Assignee: Sealright Co., Inc.Inventors: Jerry W. Young, William R. Eddy, Raymond C. Taylor

Patent number: 4318703Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided whereby a generally tubular container is formed on a mandrel with an end member being sealed to the container sidewall to form an open-topped container. The open-topped container is subsequently conveyed through one or more finishing stations for appropriate finishing of the container's open end in order to ready the container for filling and acceptance of a closure. As the open ended container is conveyed incrementally to and received at one or more finishing stations, the bottom of the container is gripped while appropriate modifications are made to the top burner.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1979Date of Patent: March 9, 1982Assignee: Phillips Petroleum CompanyInventors: Frank P. Richards, Raymond C. Taylor

Patent number: 4100842Abstract: An apparatus for forming a container is provided wherein the container is comprised of a side wall having a top bead and also a bottom member secured to the side wall with the side wall being formed from a blank which is wrapped with convolute form having side marginal portions overlapped and secured together. The apparatus includes means for forming the bottom member from a bottom member blank with the formed bottom member being carried by conveying means to various stations of the apparatus. A side wall feeder feeds side wall blanks through a side wall heater and to the conveying means for conveying thereby. A side wall wrapper is provided to wrap the side wall blank in convolute form about a mandrel and bottom member and secure overlapping marginal portions.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1977Date of Patent: July 18, 1978Assignee: Phillips Petroleum CompanyInventors: Frank P. Richards, Raymond C. Taylor, Jerry W. Young, Silvio T. Farfaglia

Patent number: 4072226Abstract: A conveyor apparatus is provided for use with a container manufacturing apparatus wherein the container manufacturing apparatus forms a generally tubular container on a mandrel with an end member being sealed to the container side wall to form an open topped container. The conveying apparatus moves the open topped containers through one or more finishing stations for appropriate finishing of the container's open end in order to ready the container for filling and acceptance of a closure. As the open ended container is conveyed incrementally by the conveyor apparatus to and received at one or more finishing stations, the bottom of the container is gripped while appropriate modifications are made to the top thereof.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1975Date of Patent: February 7, 1978Assignee: Phillips Petroleum CompanyInventors: Frank P. Richards, Raymond C. Taylor
